useful Improvements in Globes; and Ido hereby declare that 'thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description ofthe invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it aplIO pertains to make and use the same, reference benghadtotheaccompanyingdrawings,which form a part of this specification.

This invention consists in the features of' vconstruction and combination hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out-in the claims. t

In the drawings, Figure l is a side elevation, and Fig. 2 is a top or plan view, of my improved device.

The globe A is mounted upon the axis C, which consists of a shaftwith its ends projecting out at the poles of the globe. The axis C is journaled in a semicircular bar, D, which is provided with a scale, so as to represent a portion of the meridian. The remaining portion of the nieridian is represented by the graduated bar E, which is hinged upon the journals of the axis C, so that it'can be moved independently ot' the globe, and when not in use swung down out of the way.

F indicates the grad uated'horZon-bar, which is hinged to one ofthe endsl of a semicireular bar, G, which is supported by a standard, H. This horizon-bar can be raised and swung back from the globe, as indicated by dotted lilies in' Fig. 1. lhe meridian-bar D is supported in channels formed in lugs I I, that are upon the semicirenlar bar G,whereby said bar D can be moved through said channels in order to adjust the axis of the globe to the proper angle. The lower end of the standard H passes through the plate K of a tripod, L, said plate being Secured to lugs M upon the legs N ot' the tripod by means ot' screws O O. I propose making the tripod-legs in the form of serpents, the

The globewill-be prepared with a inap of the world, as usual.

1. The combination, with the semicircular meridian bar D, adjustable in channels in the lugs I upon the seniicircular bar G, and the semicircular meridian-bar E, hinged as shown, ot' the globe A, having its axis C journaledin the ends ot' bar D and supported thereby, as set forth.

2. The combination, with the globe, of the circular horizon-bar F, hinged tothe bar G, substantially as specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as myown I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
